Delicious and healthy - Edit
Amazing food and very friendly staff. Do try the plumb drink: delicious! You also get unlimited tea and water to drink. Finally, I recommend having the vegan ice cream: we tried the dragon fruit one and loved it.

New delicious discovery! - Edit
I can't believe I didn't know this place before, it's such a lovely spot for lunch with friends!
Read moreThere are three four different sets and each of them were delicious - the ramen is on the lighter side which I liked. It came with a deliciously crunchy side dish and some pickles.
The restaurant also has a store and cooking school and you can self-serve yourself as much tea and water as you'd like.
Pros: Food that's made with love, Lovely outdoor seating

Cozy cafe specialized fermented food - Edit
They apparently relocated to Honmachi area from Yotsubashi. It’s only a minute walk from exit 28 of Honmachi station.
Read moreTheir lunch menu and mini dessert were superb! It’s safe to say that their gluten-free/ vegan baked cheese cake was one of the best I’ve had.
They also sell vegan kimchi at the cashier. will definitely try sometime soon.

Relaxing Cafe with Nice Meals - Edit
I came here with a friend for lunch and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We both had the daily set, which was a hamburger patty with rice and several vegetable dishes plus soup. We also tried the vegan teramisu which was really good! Over all the food wasn't mind-blowing, but it was a relaxing place to hang out and I left feeling well nourished.

Small and cosy cafe - Edit
I went there yesterday with my friend for lunch. It is a very small cafe located close to Shinsaibashi. Since it is a little bit further, you can have lunch at peace.
Read moreThis cafe is really small and there is only 1 lady but the food was very good and not so expensive. It's vegan macrobiotic cafe so everything looked and tasted really good. I asked about the ingredients and everything was vegan. I think I will come back there again soon.
Pros: you can eat and relax, delicious, cosy space
Cons: small variety

Pleasant little "Test Kitchen" - Edit
This was a cute little restaurant with very friendly staff, even though her English was minimal. I picked what turned out to be a vegetable curry. The curry was quite good, but could have been more flavorful. Also, there was no major source of protein, so I was still hungry afterwards. For dessert, I had some type of cake with berries in it. It was yummy, although slightly dry, and I was excited to have found vegan dessert.
Read moreOverall, it was a pleasant experience.
Pros: Friendly staff, Vegan dessert
Cons: Meal lacking protein, Small portion, No English menu

Nice place for lunch - Edit
We went here just a few hours ago and had a really lovely meal. We hadn't read the reviews before going (our internet connection was slow, so we just got the address and map) and were surprised when we read them, as it almost doesn't sound like the same place. There were no signs of dogs, nor was there an upstairs or downstairs:
Read moreWe got to Prana around 1 o'clock on a Sunday; We were the first people there. The two women working did not speak much English and the menu was only in Japanese. We ordered the set lunch and the curry. Both were excellent and we did not wait long at all. For dessert, we had coconut muffins and a brownie. All delicious, but we like macrobiotic and healthy baking, so those who like super sweet desserts might not like them so much.
The cafe started to fill up by the time we finished. It still had a nice peaceful atmosphere. The prices were reasonable. My set lunch which was quite large and came with rice and miso soup was 930 and my husbands curry and salad set was 850. We live in China and this is slightly cheaper than what we would pay for the same type of lunch there. It was the cheapest vegetarian set lunch we had during our week in Japan.
Pros: good value, nice atmosphere, great food
Cons: no English menu

Only visit if you are an EXTREME dog lover! - Edit
I don't like to write a bad review, and I am so torn as to whether I should post this or not. However our visit to Prana was certainly one of the lows of an absolutely magnificent 2 weeks in Japan.
Read moreWhen we arrived, we noticed a large dog in a basket. We were surprised, but I felt it impolite to leave. We were greeted by a lovely Japanese lady who spoke excellent with an extremely thick Kiwi accent. We sat down in the downstairs area as we thought we we the only patrons and thought it would be easier for the staff.
As I was chatting to the waitress, the dog came over and licked my glass of water. The waitress saw this, but did not replace my glass. Then we waited an extraordinary length of time for our food. When the food did finally arrive, the dog ran in under my legs, under the table etc. I apologised and said that I could not eat there and would like to move upstairs.
We moved upstairs and then waited an additional 10 minutes for our food. In that time, we we offered menus again. I have NO idea what happened to our food in that 10 minutes.
It would have to be the SLOWEST meal we had in our entire meal in 17 days in Japan. This is NOT a cultural thing. Whilst downstairs, we noticed a LOT of Japanese customers enter, see the dogs (more arrive) and hesitated about coming in. One woman refused to walk past the dog as it was blocking her path to the bathroom. A staff member moved the dog's bedding and then returned to the kitchen - she DID NOT wash her hands.
The dogs roamed around the restaurant freely - entering the kitchen on numerous occasions.
I was EXTREMELY close to walking out when our food finally arrived. The surprising and most frustrating thing about the entire experience was that the food was excellent.
Pros: Food, Presentation, Staff
Cons: Dogs on Premises, SLOW, a little Pricey

Good but can't replace Maman Terrace - Edit
The food is good, but a bit on the expensive side. The vegetables change with the season but the menu doesn't seem to change. The desserts I have tried did not impress me.
Read morePros: friendly staff, food is good, nice decor
Cons: desserts not as good, slightly expensive
